I have been testing various materials since I received my X1 Carbon, and have noticed an issue with Taulman3D 645 Nylon that might be a simple fix (but I can’t find an option).
The problem is the nozzle purge/wipe sequence. The printer extrudes a bit, then drops nozzle temperature down to where the Nylon solidifies, and attempts to wipe the nozzle.
This works for most filaments, but as flexy and tough as Nylon 645 is, it simply remains attached to the nozzle. If I knock it off quickly enough, I can often get a decent print (besides a few bed adhesion issues I am working out).
Does anyone know of a way to alter the nozzle wipe temperature?
What I would suggest here is modifying the start G-code in the machine profile, save it as a user profile, and use that for nylon. I’ll comment that I have not seen this issue with 645.
That would be the place to do it, though that -20 is there for a reason, as the comment about shrinking the filament a bit says. Maybe nylon works a bit differently there. No harm in experimenting.
Thanks for the response. It is a pretty consistent problem with mine, though I could probably dry the filament better, so it may be an issue with my spool.
